Synchronous motors are termed synchronous because they inherently run at a constant velocity which is synchronized with the frequency of the AC power supply. These motors contain two basic components: A rotor - the components that rotate, and a stator - the outside shell of the motor.

Synchronous AC Motors
Synchronous motors are termed synchronous because they inherently run at a constant velocity which is synchronized with the frequency of the AC power supply. These motors contain two basic components: A rotor - the components that rotate, and a stator - the outside shell of the motor. The rotor holds the field winding which is powered by a DC voltage source. When powered, this winding operates as a permanent magnet. The stator holds the armature winding which creates a rotating magnetic field inside the motor. Synchronous motors can have either single or multiphase windings. The rotational velocity of a synchronous motor is a function of the number of pairs of poles and is always a <ref>http://www.electricmotors.machinedesign.com/guiEdits/Content/bdeee2/bdeee2_1-4.aspx</ref>
